I’m out for Blue Ridge. A destination marathon isn’t in the cards (or, more accurately, the wallet) this Spring. I’m disappointed. But there will be other times.
I’m also taking a 2 week hiatus from running. After running my 20 miler a couple weeks ago things have just felt off with my left leg – right where my tibial stress fractures were in 2013. I’m probably just imagining it, but since I’m not training for a marathon anymore, and since it’s frickin freezing here anyway, I am going to be on the safe side and just bike for a couple weeks.
Probably a good decision, it usually is if you go with your instincts. (and always is if you go with what your wallet is telling you )
